I am sorry to say this but your rifle is dangers it need to go back to Savage. There is smoothing causing too much presser to build up in your rifle after the first shot.
Most of the time this is caused by too hot of a load or headspace being too tight.
But where you said it started about two years ago, and you said you have owned this gun for about 5 years now. That makes me think it’s not the headspace. In less savages locking ring has came loose.
Without being able to see your rifle or being able to fire your rifle I cannot tell you 100% what is going on. And I will never tell you to fire this rifle.
Here is information on how to send you rifle back to savage http://www.savagearms.com/customerse...antyandrepair/
